Overview
About Commercial Cleaning
Commercial cleaning covers the full range of professional cleaning services businesses rely on — from nightly janitorial and office cleaning to floor care, window washing, medical-office disinfection, and specialty deep cleaning. CleanQuote connects facility managers, office administrators, and property owners with verified, insured commercial cleaning providers nationwide, then helps you compare multiple free quotes side by side.
Commercial cleaning is the umbrella term for the professional services that keep workplaces clean, healthy, and compliant. It spans recurring janitorial maintenance, office and workspace cleaning, restroom sanitation, hard-floor and carpet care, interior and exterior window cleaning, post-construction cleanup, green (eco-friendly) cleaning, and industry-specific services such as medical-office and warehouse cleaning. The right program depends on your facility type, square footage, foot traffic, and compliance requirements. Rather than guessing at scope and price, CleanQuote lets you describe your facility once and receive competing bids from background-checked, insured providers in your area — so you can compare pricing, scope, and reviews before you commit.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about commercial cleaning services.
What is commercial cleaning?
Commercial cleaning refers to professional cleaning services performed for businesses and commercial facilities rather than homes. It includes recurring janitorial maintenance, office cleaning, restroom sanitation, floor and carpet care, window cleaning, and specialty services like medical-office disinfection, warehouse cleaning, and post-construction cleanup. Most commercial cleaning is performed on a recurring schedule by insured, background-checked crews.
How much does commercial cleaning cost?
Commercial cleaning typically ranges from $0.05 to $0.25 per square foot per cleaning, or roughly $25–$80 per hour, depending on facility type, size, cleaning frequency, and scope. A 10,000 sq ft office cleaned five nights per week commonly runs $1,500–$4,000 per month. Because rates vary widely by region and scope, the most reliable way to budget is to compare multiple quotes from local providers.
What types of commercial cleaning services are available?
The most common services are janitorial (recurring maintenance), office cleaning, restroom sanitation, floor care, carpet cleaning, window cleaning, green cleaning, day porter service, medical-office cleaning, warehouse cleaning, pressure washing, and post-construction cleanup. Many providers bundle several of these into a single recurring contract tailored to your facility.
How do I choose a commercial cleaning company?
Look for providers that carry general liability insurance and workers’ compensation, run background checks on staff, offer a written scope of work, and have verifiable references or reviews. Comparing multiple bids helps you confirm the scope and price are fair. Every provider in the CleanQuote network is verified for insurance and licensing before receiving leads.
How quickly can I get commercial cleaning quotes?
Most businesses receive their first response within a few hours of submitting a request on CleanQuote and can compare several competing quotes within 24 hours — at no cost and with no obligation.
